Wakura Onsen- Hot Spring -

Clear spring water forced through crystallized rock

With over 1,200 years of history since its opening, Wakura Onsen is the hot spring which typifies Hokuriku and Ishikawa. The clear, hot spring waters gush forth unceasingly, forced through crystals contained within the granite deep underground. Because of the high levels of salt contained within the water, we recommend people with sensitive skin enter the bath gradually until their bodies become accustomed to the water.

How to enjoy a hot spring bath

Rinse your body with hot water before getting into the bath. Bathe in the water for about 3–10 minutes at a time, and as your body gets accustomed to the heat you can bathe for longer. You are less likely to catch a chill after a bath if you don’t wash off the spring water. However, if you are the type of person whose skin gets easily irritated from the substances contained within the hot spring water, then it is better to wash it all off with fresh water or wipe yourself carefully. It’s also a good idea to stay warm, rest for a while, and take on some fluid to stop dehydrating.
